Continuing abstraction
After a busy week last week, I thought Id try something very abstract but also fairly restricted in terms of design, and which had texture in 3D
Sounds a bit of a plan, although if I had thought too deeply at the start, it wouldn't have ended up as it finished
So, this is how it started:
just individual lines with a thin paintbrush, looking a bit like threads in embroidery.
It built up a bit, one line at a time, slowly filling the white space in. I didn't add a base layer of paint as the white starkness made the contrasts even better.
it was a tad threadbare, so I added more and more lines, stretching the darker colours in the centre out towards the edges. As it filled in, so the white canvas disappeared until the finished version ended up as you can see at the bottom of this page. I love the texture of the surface, in places a mm in thickness, and the colour feels like it is shooting past you as you watch it.
I am enjoying painting in this style and am interested in what people think of it.
